Clutch problems / dilemma

Wow, I know this thread is getting up there in age, but this is EXACTLY what just happened to my 4 month old stock replacement. I went to an autocross yesterday and on my last run I went to downshift into first and the pedal just sat on the floor. Brought the car to a stop and stomped the pedal a couple times and it popped back up. Clutch grinds on take off and stinks like crazy but she shifts and drives fine once rolling. I'm glad I found this thread because the grind only on takeoff had me concerned it wasn't the clutch disc and I don't have time to drop the trans and find out it's something else.
